The Ellsworth American saws: A recent
case of eviction at Bass Harbor has created
quite ripple of comment and gives ample
scope for arguments pro and con. Constable
j. ID. Gilley. in obedience to instructions
from WIN. Dandy, proceeded after due warn
ing to evlct the family OF Hewitt Romer,
whose dwelling house stood upon the land of
MI DANDY, mentioned 10 his deed as an in
cumbrance. Mr.. Romer was absent at the
time. but the goods and chsttels were duly
set forth upon the greensward amid the in
dignant protests of Mrs. R., who was un-
sparlng IN her invectives, against the invad-
ers and their employers. The constable's
back was hardly turned when the household
effects were gathered up by the family and
put back whence they had been taken. After
repeated warnings the services of Deputy
oherin Fennelly were called to enforce q
second eviction, but owing to the fact that
Mrs Romer took 10 her bed upon the sp.
proach OF the officers. they could do nothing
more than call in DIR. Spear to prescribe for
the sudden illness, and with another emphatic
warning the family were left in quiet posses
sion. Mr. Romer has since returned home,
and Is now canvassIng the town soliciting
from friends sufficient money to purchase q
pie ce Of land to hold his house securely, and
we learn is meeting with good success.
